Surely Chandler Bing's mom has some spare time in her work schedule?

We need to email this to Brad, stat, darling. If the Marones ever leave, I could see Fairchild coming on the show as Owen's mom -- or his sugar mama. Buying up Spectra and locking horns with Stephanie and Felicia. YES PLEASE.

Actually, she was his dad.

Actually, she was his dad.

I think Fairchild played his genuine mom.

ETA: Actually, I just remembered when Chandler and Monica went to see his dad do his act... no, definitely not MF

Yes. Yes, Yes, YES.

It needs someone who continuously says "darling" and "fabulous," it needs a diva with tons of make-up, ridiculous hats, fur-wraps, and long, red nails. Who says: "Bitch!" and "I'll DESTROY you, if it's the LAST thing I do!" all the time. Fairchild was BORN for this stuff!

Indeed, it's Morgan's role to play. Although I would FLOVE Joan Collins to be on B&B, I think her age (a fabulous 75 going on 76) would obviously limit her somewhat, she'd be fabulous on recurring (which is the style I would think JC would want) as a bitch magazine editor or fashion buyer or socialite pal of Jackie...seriously, Bradley, give this woman something to do!

Morgan, however, should be on contract and front burner! LAD doesn't have the claws Morgan has...Morgan lives in LA, it would be FANTASTIC.

Morgan Fairchild + B&B = (as DaytimeFan would say)A True Trashsterpiece

I'd tune in just to see her read the phonebook. Literally.

Trashterpiece! I'm thrilled you said that!

Chandler's dad was Kathleen Turner.

Morgan played Chandler's mom; Kathleen (?) Turner played his father turned woman...

As for B&B: Did my eyes deceive me or was this week half-way watchable?

Maybe it's just the Tridge-sucker in me but seeing a real genuine family (somehow I just can't buy anything like that when it comes to Brooke, although Rick & Brooke used to be great together in Torkildsen-Lang years...) caught my interest. I might actually watch all three episodes this weekend.

Yes, Collins would work great as a recurring character, who may not really offer too much in regards to plot, but would definitely offer some great "filler" stuff, a nice secondary character. MF, on the other hand, IA would be ideal as a diva with many dimensions. I wouldn't like a stock, two-dimensional thing, which is what Alexis more or less eventually became. Then again, it IS Brad, so.... Anyways, she seems like she has the energy and the love to pull it off fabulously.

I still remember her playing Sydney Chase...

I loved that character.

Yes, like I said on the previous page — it was Kathleen who played the father.

Oops, you're right and I remembered who did right after I saw you point that out.

Chandler's dad was Kathleen Turner.

Yup.

Here's Morgan, pics from 2008:

Oh, wow, she does look stunning (but what the hell is she wearing in that second picture? Those glasses! ) She even looks perfect for B&B!

Edited March 19, 200917 yr by YRBB

Apparently, she had a second pair!

Oh, dear Lord, is she sponsoring them or something? Truly bad!

... the ultimate ideal woman: smart, sexy, graceful, dignified, a great lawyer and businesswoman, phenomenal in bed, easy to fall in love with and impossible to get over.

That's who she needs to play. She doesn't have to be a lawyer, though.

Morgan Fairchild on B&B? YES PLEASE!

But Brad would never write for her longterm, or write her as anything but a caricature.

Morgan's first notable role was as Jennifer Pace Phillips on Search For Tomorrow. It was the first of many high-class bitch characters she would go on to play.
